On Sunday 29 November, the first Sunday in Advent, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar released new photos and a video as a First Sunday of Advent greeting from Haga Castle. In their greeting, The Swedish Crown Princess family wish everyone a happy First Sunday of Advent and a great start to the Christmas time.
Before Sunday, Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar had tied wreaths that will adorn Haga Castle during Advent and Christmas. Advent marks the start of the new liturgical year, and it always begins on Advent Sunday, which is the fourth Sunday before Christmas day.
Advent 2020 begins on Sunday, November 29 and ends on Thursday, December 24. The most significant tradition of the Advent season is the Advent wreath, or Advent crown. The candles also have their own special significance. The four candles represent the four weeks of Advent, and one candle is lighted each Sunday.

Lovely as usual, what a difference between the cold protection of Victoria's dress and Daniel's jumper and jacket. Victoria and Estelle's dresses are nice.
So funny to see in the first photo with all four of them Estelle resp. Oscar as a spitting image of her mother resp. his father. They are lookalike pairs, but here even the way they smile, the expression on their faces, is the same. Victoria looks pretty, my only "contra" concerns the high neck of her dress that simply does not suit her well. (-Ann.)
What a wonderful and heartwarming scene. The father let the son blow out the match like every other family too... I don‘t understand swedish, but I‘m impressed of the poise, Estelle makes her part. Chapeau.
They all look tired, as if they should have been in bed already! Victoria looks the odd-one-out, with a very formal pose as opposed to the others' relaxed manner. The dress is not right for her; with her severe and boring tight hair-style the dress makes her look like a 65-year-old matron of an institution. - Ellie
You seem to have strong prejudices against 65 year old women, especially if they lead an insitutitution? This is ageism pure, hurts older women as if they were generally unattractive and moreover, it does not have to do anything with fashion statements. - Anonymous blogs are not thought for judgements about people that you would never tell them in the face. (-Ann.)
You don't know what time this is. In Stockholm the sun sets at half past two this time of year. So it's probably only afternoon when this is shot. "...look like a 65-year-old matron of an institution..." Predjudice much?
Lovely photos. Especially love the tartan in both Estelle's outfits. I like Victoria's dress here which I think suits her very well--it's not high necked, merely round necked which is a style she favours. I do agree that her outfit is at odds with the warmer outfits of the others but she's sitting beside a roaring fire. Great video too.
Lovely family: Father and son look very much alike, Estelle and the pooch are so cute, and Victoria looks beautiful, chic, young, and full of vitality. Love the dress and hair.
Nicely decorated living area, a happy family with little Rio, lighting their Advent candle in the Lutheran tradition. This family has always put out lovely videos for the Christmas season. Estelle as usual seems quite mature. My only issue - Oscar looks so much better in that last photo of him with his hair NOT greased and slicked back, just nice natural hair; handsome boy. ~Laurel~
I agree about the hair. I would like to see Daniel soften his hair style. He is already so stiff looking, never with a natural smile. If he would stop slicking his hair back, I think it would help. Little boys love to be like daddy. Oscar has the same toothless smile and slicked back hair. I fear Daniel's hair is here to stay, like his tight fitting blue double breasted suit. With any luck, we won't see Oscar in a blue double breasted any time soon.
I love Victoria's dress and do not think at all that it is kind of formal. What makes the image a bit strict/severe in my opinion is Victoria's hairstyle. Would be really nice if the hair would be loose on her shoulder eg like Kate
Estelle isdeveloping into a beautifull girl; Oscar is becoming more lively; most of all I am impressed how calm and relaxed and happy they always look together.
Dingeling, I have nothing against women of all ages, or matrons and institutions. But Vic is a woman in her forties. That was clearly my message, and if someone found something else in my post, it is the result of their own thinking. - Ellie
Everything looks so lovely and Christmassy; it is certainly a time to spend with family. The Christmas wreath looks good; I will have to try and make one like theirs, as in Australia the foliage soon dies; with the hot weather.

ReplyDeleteEllie, I have obviously watched a different Video than you have...but each to their own.

Dear Ellie, I will be 65 tomorrow and if I looked like Victoria does here, I would be ecstatic
DeleteWhat makes you so sure this was late at night? It could have been staged for the effect. So often we see what we want to see.

ReplyDeleteTycker inte att hundar ska ligga i möbler. Om jag skulle sätta mig i den soffan där hunden legat skulle jag få coronaliknande symtom.
ReplyDeleteHopeful in preparation for the Prince of Peace
